That depends on what you mean by financial trouble.  The station may 
not owe money, but it could be at the point where income no longer 
covers operating costs.  That was the problem at WJIB that motivated 
Bob to do his annual fund-raising appeal.  The choice is either to 
become more aggressively commercial to make enough money to pay the 
bills and produce a decent profit for the owners or to go non-
commercial and rely on fundraising.
